How Does Intra Nasal Medications Work?
Intranasal medications work by delivering drugs directly into the bloodstream through the nasal passages. This method bypasses the liver's first-pass metabolism, which is the process where drugs are broken down before they reach the systemic circulation. The nasal cavity's rich vascularization and thin mucosa allow for quick absorption, often resulting in a rapid onset of action.
First-Pass Metabolism Bypass: The intranasal route avoids first-pass metabolism in the liver, increasing a drug's bioavailability and contributing to its faster action compared to oral administration.
1
Direct Vascularization: The nasal cavity's extensive vascularization facilitates swift absorption into the systemic circulation.
1
Direct-to-Brain Delivery: For certain CNS-targeted drugs, the intranasal route offers a direct pathway to the brain via the olfactory nerve, bypassing the blood-brain barrier.

Using logic not perpetuating old First Aid statements Eye Injuries
In the case of embedded objects or penetrating eye injury, the common advice has always been to bandage both the injured AND the uninjured eye. The rationale was conjugate gaze; if one eye moves, so does the other (we can’t move each eye independently like chameleons).
However, we now know that while our eyes do track together they also react to sound and other stimuli. There is actually more eye movement when vision is occluded, especially in children. There is no need to routinely bandage both eyes, unless both eyes are injured. Maintaining vision allows the patient to function and limits overall eye movement. Also, the eye moves more when closed than when opened, thus potentially doing more internal damage than of the uninjured eye were allowed to stay un-occluded.

Information on battery ingestion
For suspected button battery ingestion, the new first aid is to immediately call emergency services (000 in Australia, 911 in US/Canada) and, while en route to the hospital, give 2 teaspoons (10mL) of honey or jam every 10 minutes (up to 6 doses) to children over 1 year old, or jam/sucralfate for infants under 1 year, to neutralize the battery's electrical burn; do not induce vomiting, give anything else by mouth, or delay medical care. This honey/jam protocol buys time but doesn't replace urgent medical removal, which is crucial for preventing severe tissue damage, especially within 12 hours of ingestion.
Immediate Actions (While Waiting for Help)
Call for Help: Call 000 (Australia) or your local emergency number immediately.
Honey/Jam (for >1 year old): Give 10mL (2 teaspoons) of honey or jam every 10 minutes until you reach the hospital.
Jam/Sucralfate (for

Hello Folks
I was just reading a training organizations guidelines on management of spinal injuries
They referred to
C Collars cervical collars hopefully not stiff necks and hopefully soft collars
Why stiff neck collars those horrible plastic ones
Which we were forced to apply for many years when I was in the Ambulance Service for 3 decades
Were finally established to be perhaps contributing to the very injuries they were supposed to prevent
What did the Ambulance do ?
Go back to using soft collars a good choice
Now backboards
These horrible flat plastic boards that did nothing to support the spine think about the spines natural curves
Things like backboards not a good choice
Or perhaps a scoop
Should be used for extrication only
Not leaving a footy player on for hours waiting for an ambulance
The best is a full body vacuum splint
That conforms beautifully to the spinous process
If your training organisation RTO has these devices in their training packages
They need to be very clear on the significant limitations of these devices and use the correct terminology
For those who are interested this link has a very interesting article
